INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

ROUND WIRE CONCENTRIC LAY OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL STRANDED CONDUCTORS

FOREWORD
1) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with. 2) They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense. 3) In order to promote international unification, the IEC expresses the wish that all National Committees should adopt the text of the IEC recommendation for their national rules in so far as national conditions will permit. Any divergence between the IEC recommendation and the corresponding national rules should, as far as possible, be clearly indicated in the la tter.

This standard has been prepared by IEC Technical Committee No. 7: Bare aluminium conductors. The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
Six Months' Rule 7(00)429 Report on Voting 7(00)430 Two Months' Procedure 7(00)431 Report on Voting 7(00)433

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the Voting Repo rt s indicated in the above table. This standard replaces the following publications: IEC 207: 1966, Aluminium stranded conductors. IEC 208: 1966, Aluminium alloy stranded conductors (aluminium-magnesium-silicon type). IEC 209: 1966, Aluminium conductors, steel-reinforced. IEC 210: 1966, Aluminium alloy conductors, steel-reinforced. Annexes A, B and C form an integral pa rt of this International Standard. Annex D is for information only.

ROUND WIRE CONCENTRIC LAY OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL STRANDED CONDUCTORS

1 Scope 1.1 This International Standard specifies the electrical and mechanical characteristics of round wire concentric lay overhead electrical stranded conductors made of combinations of any of the following metal wires: a) hard-drawn aluminium as per IEC 889 designated Al*; b) aluminium alloy type B as per IEC 104 designated A2*; c) aluminium alloy type A as per IEC 104 designated A3* (and when applicable to the following cores, as per IEC 888); d) regular strength steel, designated S1A or S1 B, where A and B are zinc coating classes, corresponding respectively to classes 1 and 2; e) high strength steel, designated S2A or S2B; f) extra high strength steel, designated S3A.

1.2 The conductor designations included in this standard are: Al, A2, A3, Al/S1A, Al/S1B, Al/S2A, Al/S2B, Al/S3A, A2/S1A, A2/S 1 B, A2/S3A, A3/S 1 A, A3/S 1 B, A3/S3A, Al /A2, A1 /A3.

2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication of this standard, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and pa rties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

IEC 104: 1987, Aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloy wire for overhead line conductors.

IEC 888: 1987, Zinc-coated steel wires for stranded conductors. IEC 889: 1987, Hard-drawn aluminium wire for overhead line conductors.

Th e resistivity of these metals is as follows (in increasing order): Al: 28,264 nS1m (corresponding to 61% IACS), A2: 32,530 nQm (corresponding to 53% IACS), A3: 32,840 nam (corresponding to 52,5% IACS).
